The intake container has a lifting device for raising the intake container above the collecting container. The intake container has a bottom part and bottomless housing which is movable relative to the bottom part so that an open and closed position can be defined. In the closed position, a lower edge of the housing part lies against the bottom forming a seal and in the open position the lower edge of the housing is situated at a distance from the bottom part allowing discharge of the contents. The intake and collecting container can be aligned prior to discharge, thereby assuring error-free emptying of the intake container.

Title: Gas lift flow control device
Inventor: SCHMIDT ZELIMIR
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 1995-09-04
Granted: 1999-08-12
Abstract: A gas flow control device (60) for injecting gas into a downhole production string for recovering pressure and reducing frictional losses, so that critical flow can be reached at lower pressure drops and higher production pressure, includes a housing, inlet ports (54), nose end (61) with check valve (65), and outlet ports (64), and a nozzle (34) having first and second ends, and a flow path therebetween, and a Venturi having first and second ends, and a flow path therebetween. The first end of the Venturi portion is disposed adajcent to the second end of the nozzle. The Venturi flow path is coaxially aligned with the nozzle flow path to provide a continuous flow path therethrough. Such a flow control device that has a gas flow rate performance that is independent of the tubing pressure, even when the tubing pressure is as high as 80 % to 93 % of the casing pressure, can be used to increase the production rate, improve the lift efficiency, and eliminate or suppress instability in continuous-flow gas lift wells.

Abstract: In a process and plant for kilning malt in a floor arrangement, at least two zones (A and B) are provided for withering and one zone (A1) for curing or cooling of the malt. The unsaturated exhaust air from the curing or cooling zone (A1) is mixed as return air into the feed air system, where in the withering zones (A and B), by means of the degree to which they are loaded with malt, the design of the floor surface and/or by adjusting the flow volume, the temperature and/or the moisture content of the feed air, differing individual withering times are achieved in such a manner that during the curing in the curing zone (A1) a withering process can always occur in at least one withering zone (A or B) and each individual zone (A, B and A1) is operated in an air-tight manner separately from the others. The floor surface of a floor kiln (12) is divided by partition walls (26) into three zones (A, B and A1); the air supply is so designed that the exhaust air is carried off separately from each zone. The partition walls (26) are so arranged that each zone (A, B and A1) has a loading and unloading device (14) or can move into the area of the loading and unloading device (14).

IPC: H03M13/35
Filed: 1993-07-06
Granted: 1995-11-09
Abstract: The error detection and correction device detects and corrects single bit errors in a sequence of bits comprising a plurality of n-bit containing subsets applied on a parallel bus IN having m subset parts. It includes a storage module ST connected to the bus IN and which transfers the subsets as they are received on the bus to a divider logic circuit DL. This circuit performs a m*n bit parallel modulo 2 division of the received sequence by a given polynomial and transfers the remainder REM to a comparison circuit C where it is compared with a zero byte or with an error code byte HEC contained in the sequence depending on the position of the first byte of the sequence on the bus. Based on the result of the comparison and using translation tables a processor circuit PR determines the bit position in the sequence of a bit error. A correction logic CL corrects the received sequence. <IMAGE>

Title: Quadrupole mass spectrometer with ion traps to enhance sensitivity
Inventor: HAGER JAMES W
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2000-05-26
Granted: 2005-03-17
Abstract: A mass spectrometer method and apparatus has a mass analyzer and a collision cell. The collision cell is configured to trap ions. Precursor ions are selected in the first mass analyzer and then subject to collision-induced dissociation in the collision cell. The fragment ions are then scanned out axially by application of suitable excitation to the ions. The fragment ions can then be detected by a time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. For a TOF spectrometer, trapping fragment ions in the collision cell and scanning them out can give enhanced sensitivity.

Title: System for storing, mixing and administering a drug
Inventor: FELICELLI ROBERT
IPC: A61J1/00
Filed: 1999-06-04
Granted: 2003-09-04
Abstract: A container for holding a concentrated drug for a mixing system includes a barrel with a cover structure including a delivery passage at a first end and a closing structure at an opposite, second end. A female Luer lock fitting defines the delivery passage at the first end. The closing structure and the female Luer lock fitting can each be formed integrally with the barrel, or the closing structure can be a slidable stopper. The closing structure may also include a holder. The holder is constructed to move between two positions. In the first position, the holder is in a elevated position on the second end of the barrel. The barrel can vent vapor around the cover piece. In the second position, the holder is depressed onto the barrel and it cannot vent vapor. The cover structure may include a snap-on cover piece to fit over the first end. The cover piece includes the female luer lock fitting. The cover piece functions similar to the holder.The container can be used in a mixing system which includes a diluent syringe with a barrel having a discharge passage at a first end, and a piston slidably and sealingly disposed in the diluent syringe barrel to define a diluent chamber adjacent the discharge passage. The syringe includes a male Luer lock fitting at its first end for releasably connecting to the female Luer lock fitting of the container. Diluent can be passed from the syringe into the container to mix with the concentrated drug and the resultant mixture can then be drawn from the container for administering to a patient.

Title: Pulsator for milking machines
Inventor: WILLACH EBERHARD
IPC: A01J5/12
Filed: 1986-01-02
Granted: 1989-01-05
Abstract: A pulsator for milking machines has two diaphragms connected by a rod with each diaphragm dividing a pressure chamber into a processing space and a damping space. The damping spaces communicate through a channel that is provided with a throttle. The processing spaces are connected either to a source of vacuum or to the atmosphere. A switchover is attached to the rod and connects lines leading to the pulsation spaces of milking containers either to the atmosphere or to a source of vacuum. A main line is provided with a throttle. The throttles in the communicating channel and in the main line are detoured by bypasses provided with chokes that can be vacuum-activated through control channels. To improve the known pulsator by eliminating the sensitive hoses and timers and to allow adjustment of the duration of the stimulation phase with no need for a timer, the control channels are always in communication with one of the control chambers in a control disk, one chamber constantly communicating with the vacuum source and the other chambers subject to atmospheric pressure. The disk can be rotated by a transmission, which is driven by the rod as it travels back and forth, in such a way that the control channels are connected either to the control chamber that is subject to vacuum or to one of the control chambers that are subject to atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: The need for a highly viscous couplant gel or water spray to form an acoustical couple for ultrasound testing is eliminated by employing an ultrasound probe module. A porous membrane and an ultrasound probe cooperate to define a chamber which contains a liquid acoustical couplant. When pressure is applied to the liquid acoustical couplant it passes through the porous membrane.
